Lee Greenwood, one of the world’s most acclaimed artists, gained his success after years of struggling and ascending the ranks of the music industry. In 1983, one song propelled him out of the ranks of stardom and into a niche seemingly carved out for him alone. That song was “God Bless the USA,” which was voted as the most recognizable patriotic song in America in 2003.
